Function and Venue Hire

Lardner Park boasts a wide range of indoor and outdoor function rooms and outdoor exhibition areas. Both small and large venue space is available for hire, with a focus on exhibit spaces for business, agriculture, agribusiness and facilitating the connection between food, fibre, technology and community.

Our venue is a beautiful versatile facility which can be outfitted to suit your needs. We offer event catering for a range of menu styles, including breakfasts, luncheons, dinner parties, cocktail selections and buffet style.

CoDE is focused to increasing productivity through efficiency and effectiveness of drone technology in various industry sectors and delivering solution outcomes. Importantly, CoDE enables regional communities, including students, to be informed, trained, licensed, and implement drone technology.

This contributes to new employment opportunities, knowledge generation and sharing, seeding of new businesses and expansion to new areas for existing businesses. Increasing productivity and creating regional employment also stimulates skill-change opportunities for workers from Latrobe Valley, Wellington and Baw Baw Shires.
